Your experience begins with a truly individualised menu, written in consultation with you and our chefs. We aim to turn your occasion into something special
Our menus are written to make it easy for you, after countless years working with all manner of people what we have learnt is that the simplest approach is often the easiest.
As such our menus are designed to take into consideration all of your guests' dietaries and preferences. We look at table settings and how best to share our food with you in the simplest and easiest way.
Our share style menus come as the main course or protein cooked and plated simply with beautiful flavours and great care. We then ask you to add your choice of sides in this way we cover all those guests who are free from gluten, dairy or who are vegetarian or vegan.
When I say simple, it's simple and easy for you to choose but our food isn't as simple as it seems. We only cook the best possible ingredients with careful attention to technique and flavour. When your guests taste our food they will always want seconds.
